The schedule looks intense with back-to-back matches! Hope the players get adequate rest and recovery time. Player welfare should be a priority too.

Hope they improve the streaming quality this season. Last year had some technical issues during live matches. Otherwise, the league has been fantastic for Indian volleyball!
